Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is microsoft/CopilotStudioSamples's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on CopilotStudioSamples itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything CopilotStudioSamples configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is > This sample is deprecated. Use [replacement](../path/) instead..

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

CopilotStudioSamples CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Adding a New Sample

  1. Create a folder under the appropriate category (e.g., ui/embed/my-sample/)
  2. Add a README.md with front matter:
---
title: My Sample
parent: Embed           # Must match the parent page's title exactly
grand_parent: UI        # Required for level 3 pages
nav_order: 8            # Position among siblings
---
  1. Write the README with: description, prerequisites, setup steps, architecture notes
  2. Name the file README.md (exact casing) — the jekyll-readme-index plugin converts it to index.html

For Power Platform Solutions (authoring/solutions/)

Solutions follow the PnP format:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
